OPPOSE THE SUBSCRIPTION.
Taxpayers of the Eighteenth civil
District Take n stand on the

At a called meeting OF the citizens
of the Eighteenth Civil District OF
Shelby county, held at Buntyn Sta.
ton at 8 o'clock pm, March 14tb,
the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, The County Court OF
Shelby county, Tenn, has requested
to submit to the voters OF the county
the proposition to subscribe the sum
OF $200,000 in bonds to the proposed
Tennessee Midland railroad; and
whereas, we, the citizens and taxpay-
ers OF the Eighteenth Civil District oil
said county, are opposed to the sub
mission of the question to the people,
and are totally opposed 10 such
subscription, because we believe II
to be- wrong in principle, erroneous in
policy and oppressive to the people
already overwhelmed with debt and
taxation; and whereas, we are ia great
reed of longer terms Of free schools
for our children, and Of better public
roads and highways in our county
therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that our magistrates be re-
quested to vote against the PROPOSE
ton and to Oppose the submission oil
the question to the voters Of the
county.

BURGLARS ON THEIR ROUNDS.
Chelsea and south Memphis VisitI d
Monday Might.

Monday night was q lively one with
burglars, and the two extremes Of the
city were visited. In Chelsea the resi-
dence OF the Rev. Il. M. Richardson,
at No. 1925 Fifth street, was selected.
The thieves were at work trying to
open window when some OF the &C.
cupants awoke and frightened them
away.
For South Memphis the msrauders
chose the residence OF Mr.. Harris, u
blacksmith, No 1852 Looney street
They gained room occupied by two
sisters, and. in searching the apart
ments stumbled against the bed. One
OF the ladies' was aroused, and ON dis,
covering the character Of the iHtruders
screamed. Her mother, in an adjoin-
ing room, awoke and struck light.
The burglars thereupon fled, without
securing any reward for their daring
Intrusion.

Chief Cleary Advocates FtTspT0O;
BRgsing.

The two heavy cotton fires in this
city within the past few weeks, has
caused the agitation Of an idea to sup
plant the jute and hemp now used for
bagging, with some areproof material.
Chief Cleary, in advocating the idea,
says: The demand for covering for
cotton that wiihresist sparks is be-
coming more imperative all the time.
Chief Shay, of the New York Depart
ment, said in report few days ago
that the National Government should
take the matter of preventing cotton
fires in hand. Some $4,000, 900 worth
Of cotton has been destroyed by fire,
but the use of il fammable bagging is
still adhered to. He advocates the use
of fireproOf jackets for cotton, and |
believe he 10 right. Cloth covered
with a coating of asbestos would
make splendid baggipg. 1t would
shed sparks, and could be cut open
in case of the bale catching Fl g
inside. The bales could be handled
as conveniently and eGsily as they are
now. In f5ct, that ia one point OF
advantage fire PROCEED cloth would
have over a metal jacket, but not the
only one; metal covered bale OF cot
ton might as we'll be given up il it
ever gets fire started inside. The
fire would shoulder and spread with
out breaking into blaze maybe, and
eat up the cotton inside the metal.

LOUISVILLE In Big LUCK.
TIE RACE BETWEEN MONTANA
:,REGENT AND YOLANTE
To Be Probably Run Over Phat
COurse-Why 1t Was Wanted
for Memphis.

Will Tompkine, famous light
weight jockey, arrived in the city yes
tercay. He comes to fill contract
made some time ago with the veteran
huffman, Jim Gray, and will ride for
him during the coming season. He is
Just from the Pacific coast and con-
versant with the ideas and intentions
OF Bs dwin, the owner OF Volante.
When questioned about the proposed
race between that horse and Montana
Regent, Mr.. Tompkins WAS rather re-.
served, but from desire to first find
out how Mr.. Morrisssy, the friend
whom he was with, felt about it.
1t seems Baldwin is really anxious
to match his horse against Montana
Regent, but not for a distance OF over
a mile aud half. Murphy, trainer
for Morrissey, desired a distance OF
two miles or more, and this difference
is what caused Baldwin 20 retire.
There is no objection, however to ar.
ranging it on terms satisfactory TO
Baldwin, provided the race would be
run over the Memphis course.
Mr.. Morrissey, who merely owns
Montana Regent, but has never seen
him run, is not 30 sure OF a victory for
his animal. "You needn't fear any
thing on that score" reassuringly
answered Mr.. Tompkins. "Of course
it is no dead sure thing, but you have
decidedly the bsst OF it. The two
horses are perfect bull dogs, will never
give in, and one or the other OF them
is more than likely 10 die from the
effects" This view of the case did
not seem cheering to Mr.. Morrissey
81 wouldn't care 30 much if my horse
broke down, but don't want him
killed."
"Is there any possibility OF the two
coming together ?" asked the reporter.
"Volante will come as far south as
Louisville, where he begins TIE sea-
son." replied Mr.. Tompkins.
"rhsn Murphy will meet him there
with Montana Regent" said Mr.. Nor
rissey, land j will see the race if /
have to come all the way from Mon
tana to do it. / don't care much for
racing sports, merely taking pride in
the own rship of foe animals, but !
wouldn't miss that"
81 zee you were taking lively in.
terest ia arranging the match TO be
run over the Memphis course" sug
gested the reporter.
"That was more on account OF friend.
ship for my friend Montgomery and
l the Jockey Club. II we could have
| fixed the race for Memphis sporting
men would nave come all the way
from Colorado and other far Western
States to witness it. II would have
been the biggest boost the Memphis
Jockey Club could possibly have &C.
cured. Montana Regent is the pet Of
that part Of the country, and his ad-
mirers would travel hundreds of miles
to see him in big race"
Mr.. Morrisey will leave Saturday
night for his Western home, but re-
turn in time for day or two Of the
spring meeting in this city. There il
one strange fact in connection with hit
prominence as turfman, and that liz
he has never seen race in which one
OF his horses took part. Hesintrustl
all his racing affairs to Mr.. Murphy,
and has urbounded confidence in hii
| husineas tact and ability.

THE PROTESTANT PASTORS
RESOLVE TO BEGIN A SERIES OF
URION MEETINGS..
The Movement 90 BE widespread
and COutinuOus-Dr. BOggs's
Able Successor.

The Protestant Pastors Association,
OF this city, hiss recently received
upon a movement Of great importance.
IL has been decided that on next Sab
bath a series Of union meetings ehall
be inaugurated, TO be held each after
noon in the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church; and, also, that each pastor
will hold meeting in his own church
every night, availing himself of what
ever ministerial assistance he can ee.
cure. Just at this time OF so great
interest, all will feel and lament
the absence OF that faithful and active
man of God, DR.. Boggs-now called to
rest from bis labors for few weeks in
order TO restore his somewhat i'm
paired health. The Presbyterians Of
the city, however, are to be conRratu.
lated that upon invitation OF the Second
Church, DR.. J. w Pratt, OF Louisville,
has consented 10 labor amongst them
until DR.. Boggs shall have returned.
OF Dr. Pfatt, it is scarcely necessary to
speak. His reputation as one Of the
foremost preachers Of the Presby erian
Church has preceded him. For his
clearness Of thought, his elcquence OF
diction, aud his power OF delivery, he
has ranked with DR.. b. M. Palmer and
the late DIR. Stusrt Robinson, whose
successor he WIS in the pastorate OF
the largest Presbyterian Church in
Louieville. His sermons at Lexington,
Va, and to the immense audiences as
sembled in'the Grand Music Hall Of
Cincinnati, have been regarded ss
amongst the best in the English Ian
guage. While DIR. B)ggs shall be alb
sent, DR.. Pratt will act as supply ti
the Second Presbyterian Church, oc.
cupying its pulpit each Sabbath morn
ing and evening, and, In addition, he
has consented to preach at the First
Presby terrain Church, corner OF Third
and Poplar streets, every night, com
menoing with Thursday night of this
week, thus rendering valuable assis.
lance to that congregation asinvited by
its pastor. Ia this way the two lead
ing Presbyterian churches of the city
may hope to be greatly blest by DR..
Pitts ministratioDs; the First
Church, by his sermons each night
during the week, and the Second, by
his discourses ON the Sabbath and at
the Wednesday evening prayer meet
ipgs. We bsspeak for him a large
audience at the First Church tomor-
row Thursday night.
